just our dysfunctional government. arthel: there was anoint the speech that may antagonize house republicans. >> last month republicans in congress said they would never agree to raise tax rates on the wealthiest americans, but obviously the agreement that's being struck would raise those rates and raise them permanently. >> there was to tepid applause. it was suppose to be an official white house event but it was almost a campaign event and people were cheering. they are turning republican compromise into spiking the football in their face while there is a lot of uncertainty still about whether this deal is going to get done. what does that accomplish? all it does is anger republicans more while this is still a tentative scenario. which is why i go back to my initial comment. i don't know what the president was hoping to accomplish in a protective way with that performance and maybe it would have been wise for him -- i understand he wants to use his bully pulpit. but while we have this agreement in flux it might have

we want something done through the government. and if nothing gets done you will see the market come down, or i should say if something small gets done that is not what we need. in a few months we revisit this once again. you also have the debt limit ceiling we're looking at the end of the year as well there is so much going on. if we kick this down the road we'll lose complete confidence in the government. they will sit on money, they will not spend and recession is inevitable. >> s&p has been up. all other markets have pretty much been up on the year. do you think people who are checking their 401(k)s and what not, the pension plans, they don't really appreciate perhaps the gravity of what is about to hit them? >> no, they don't. most people surprisingly when you ask them how well they have done with their 401(k), they think they have done terrible but when they open their statements at end of the year they will be pleasantly surprised. one of the thing people have they have been scared and on the sideline. people making money a

and they're not going to, basically, get employment and income with government assistance and subsidies alone. you have to grow the economy, and nothing this president's done in four years has meaningfully done that. let's go back to the point that says the republicans are intractable. they agreed to $1.2 trillion in new revenue. john boehner from the very beginning put 800 billion in revenue on the table. the president was known to say, well, that's mine. i get that one for free. i don't have to give anything in return. the president in addressing a deficit added $1.6 trillion in new spending. gregg: yeah. >> so who are we joking right now? the president has never taken the spending side of this equation seriously, which is why we don't have a deal. republicans have put their necks on the line supporting new revenues, the president's not coming through. gregg: senator barrasso said the president does want to go over the cliff, because he wants to punish republicans. is there something to that? >> i don't think there's anything to that, but the reality is that if he wants to get anythin
